I’ve always hated Universes Beyond, but I would like to say a very special “fuck you” to everyone involved in allowing the absolute cancer that is the modern Marvel franchise to infect Magic: the Gathering.
I sincerely hoped that the existence of Lorcana would keep Disney and their tributary bullshit out of Magic. But no. No, the Disney adults need to project their brainless continuity onto every medium on the planet.
Damn it, I hate them all so very much.
The machine whirs and rumbles.
You hear bells and steam-whistles, marimbas and birdsong. Once the cacophony is over, the HORIZON MACHINE has printed three single-spread games. What a treat!
Previously available as part of the emergency fund-raising 'exile collection', three small games I made back in february now have their own itch.io releases:
RIDE ON SHOOTING STAR is a lighthearted action comedy game inspired by FLCL. Play as a bunch of weird kids figuring themselves out, fighting a mysterious phenomenon, and growing up.
THE MOST HAUNTED DOLL IN THE WORLD is a goofy token-based horror-comedy poking fun at shitty horror films. Play as a dysfunctional and poorly-written family and the turbo-haunted doll that's wrecking their shit.
Finally, EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED is an oddball detective game inspired by the Dirk Gently books and TV show. Play as a gang of misfits and outcasts investigating a case that seems to be made up of a half-dozen totally unrelated incidents--that is, until you come up with the one perfect theory that fits it all together.
Because it totally is!
You can turn a man into a lizard, big deal. They can turn a dead chicken, some dry noodles, and a couple of vegetables into soup! I mean no disrespect to a nice lizard snack - it’ll get you through on a long afternoon’s march - but when you get right down to it, which you would rather have: a stringy old lizard or a nice warm cup of soup? We both know the answer, and it’s soup.
would love to join the local goth barbarian larping group but unfortunately it requires physical prowess which i do not possess. And the faerie larpers require monthly fees
Of course there’s a price to be paid for consorting with the fae. Naturally.
The Goth barbarians do not require membership fees because there’s a whole city right there, ripe to be plundered.
Ohhhh, I am definitely making this a viable Wizard’s familiar in my next D&D campaign.
